The Traverse City Beach Bums were a professional baseball team based in Chums Corner, Michigan, a southern suburb of Traverse City. The Beach Bums played in the independent Frontier League. The team played at Wuerfel Park.
The Beach Bums were established in 2006 when the Richmond Roosters franchise was purchased and moved from Richmond, Indiana. In 2018, the franchise was sold to the owners of the West Michigan Whitecaps who folded the Frontier League affiliation and launched a new team in the Northwoods League, the Traverse City Pit Spitters.
